Which amplified effect appears when thawing permafrost triggers solifluction?

💡 Explanation

Increased methane concentration occurs, because increased temperature drives solifluction of organic-rich permafrost, releasing methane through microbial decomposition; therefore, rather than stabilizing slopes, solifluction accelerates slope instability and greenhouse gas emissions. The mechanism at play is a positive feedback loop.
